Last shot is from the movie 'Theirs is the Glory'. You might want to take a look at that movie.....

More Panthers.

I am unsure of the city in the 1st shot.

2 shots by members of the 3rd Armoured Div. I am unsure of the German Panther unit.

These 2 Panthers are very likely from the first Heer abteilungs to arrive in Russia in fall 1943. Which ones, I am not sure. Similar numbering on both.

More destruction in a Czech tank graveyard.

The flakpanther in Czechoslovakia. I always thought this vehicle was abandoned in the photos, but you do see the people staying away from it. This may be from before the German surrender.

From this album there is a pic of a panther with two numbers 15 and 137, what's the purpose of the 15?

That's a very good question. It sure wasn't 15th company, that's for sure!!.

Someone may have been lazy and not wanted to re-paint over a original radio call-sign. And there was never a 7th vehicle in a platoon, as well. These high numbers, though you see them sometimes, are something I could never understand--like "438" or "IN9".

But someone may pop up here with a perfectly good explanation.

Arthur.
